Week 1

New York started the game with turnovers on their first three drives, all in the first 6½ minutes. There were two INTs by Eli Manning, including his first pass. That’s not how you want to start a season.

Jets coach Rex Ryan was correct in his post-game comments — there’s no apology for winning an ugly game in the NFL. But he also must know that he was oh-so-close to getting run out of town only one game into his final contract year.

With rookie Geno Smith starting at quarterback, the Jets attempt to put their tumultuous preseason behind them when they welcome their former star cornerback Darrelle Revis and Tampa Bay to MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

Tampa Bay knows it is facing an inexperienced rookie Sunday, a guy who took all of 69 snaps in preseason games. It won’t be a big surprise to anyone in the stadium if the Buccaneers do all they can to try to rattle Geno Smith.

With just five carries for 11 yards and no passing attempts, Tim Tebow didn’t do much on the field Sunday. But according to NFL.com’s weekly power rankings, the rising New York Jets are now the New York “Tebow.”
